Material uncertainty over going concern
The uncertainty as to the timing and level of conversion of forecast new business represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that this uncertainty can be managed to a successful outcome.
